“Are you trying to be who Jesus wants you to be? Or do you trust him to bring out who he has already created you to be? It is vital to recognize the difference between these two questions because one leads to death, the other leads to life.”

“Worry is a thief, Fear is a liar, and Anxiety is their trembling, furrow-browed baby.”

“Healing is messy and fluid and often unpredictable. I can’t manufacture my own healing. It usually takes longer than I think, runs deeper than I wished, and involves more areas of my life than I ever imagined. But once I come through it on the other side, healing not only offers the closure I thought I wanted, it comes with a wholeness, wellness, and restoration that closure lacks.”
― Emily P. Freeman, Grace for the Good Girl: Letting Go of the Try-Hard Life

“For after all, the best thing one can do when it is raining is let it rain.”
